Crochet a Pink Bunny Purse

I originally designed this for our 3 year old little great-neice for Christmas this year, but i confess when my 2 girls saw it, they wanted it. (lol!) they are 7 and 14!! I am sure any age would love this, I plan to make others that are similar just for fun! I sure hope u like it too!! I had so much fun making it, I couldnt put it down until i had it finished.
